With an armed force that is considered to be one of the most powerful in East Africa, Kenya has consistently procured a large amount of military hardware, including small arms, aircraft, artilleries and armored vehicles, which drove defense expenditure during the historic period. The country’s defense budget increased at a CAGR of about 8.3%, with an investment of around US$1 billion in 2014 to around US$1.3 billion in 2018. The government’s well-defined military modernization plans and efforts to counter domestic and foreign terrorist attacks, along with the country’s active and consistent participation in various peacekeeping missions, will stimulate expenditure over the forecast period. The country’s defense budget is expected to increase at a CAGR of 4.09%, from US$1.4 billion in 2018 to US$1.6 billion in 2023.

The capital expenditure (CAPEX) allocation of the Kenyan defense budget represented an average of around 34% of the total budget during 2014-2018 and is anticipated to increase to an average of around 35% over 2019-2023. On a cumulative basis, CAPEX was US$2.0 billion during the historic period and is anticipated to reach to US$2.7 billion over the forecast period; as a result of the country’s plans to procure defense equipment such as land-based C4ISR, physical security infrastructure and IT-networking are expected to be in demand over the forecast period.

Kenyan homeland security (HLS) expenditure will grow at a CAGR of around 2.2% over the forecast period, increasing from over US$947 million in 2019 to about US$1 billion by 2023. Preventive measures for internal conflicts, drug trafficking, human trafficking, piracy, and threats from terrorist groups drive HLS expenditure. Kenya procured armored personnel carrier vehicles and small arms for its national police forces as its current equipment and vehicles are aging; this will help to improve safety and security and counter any possible attacks. Kenya is also keen on procuring surveillance, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), intelligence systems such as automated border crossing systems, and CCTV (closed circuit television) and has invested in acquiring military hardware for its police forces.

The Kenyan defense market, valued at around US$1.3 billion in 2018, is expected to see sustained growth over the forecast period to reach about US$1.6 billion by 2023. Growing threats from terrorism, border conflicts with Somalia, human trafficking, arms smuggling and contributions to peacekeeping operations are expected to drive the country’s military expenditure, registering a growth rate of just over 4% over the forecast period. Kenya’s capital defense expenditure will increase from over US$450 million in 2018 to around US$575 million by 2023. Over the forecast period, the average share of total CAPEX is expected to cross 35% from its historic-period average of about 34%. Defense equipment such as land-based C4ISR, physical security infrastructure, and IT-networking are expected to be in demand over the forecast period.
